Gerard also said he went to the school before the attack to warn administrators it was coming.

"I receive a text from my daughter saying, 'Dad, these girls are going to jump me at lunch, I'm afraid and I can't take this anymore,'" Gerard said.

Michael Gerard said right after that text message, he rushed to the school.

"And all I was met with is, 'Well you can go downstairs and check on her and make sure she's safe,'" Gerard said. "All their remedy was, was 'just don't go outside.'"

Gerard said he wasn't allowed to speak to school administrators and ended up leaving.

"Seventeen minutes from the time I left the school, my daughter got jumped," Gerard said.

Gerard went back to the school, this time called back by school staff.

"They got on a radio and got a hold of the vice principal," Gerard said. "Why couldn't they get a hold of her that quick when I showed up the first time?"

Gaynor Thompson is another parent who told Action 7 News that her 13-year-old daughter was being harassed and threatened at the same school.

"Something is being missed along the line and I think they're trying to down play a little bit of this," said Thompson.

Rio Rancho police investigated the incident.

"What the officer did learn is there are some type of harassment issues going back and forth, allegedly between all of the individuals," said John Francis of the Rio Rancho Police Department. "The report has been forward to the Office of Juvenile Probation."

Thompson is moving her daughter to another school. As for Gerard's daughter, "She's a mess, she's at home. She doesn't know what to do anymore," Gerard said.

A school district official told Action 7 News that due to confidentiality laws, there is not much the district can say about the incident, but that bullying and harassment issues are taken seriously and such incidents are investigated.

The Rio Rancho Police Department said there's not a full-time police officer assigned to the school, but officers do get involved if an incident is reported by either a parent or school staff.
